Day 117 Right as Rain

29/06/13
It was a good job it was sunny this morning as we were dropped off on the edge of the tourist district, just after 06.00. By 06.25 I was in the lobby of a hostel with a $5 dorm bed promised. I was told to wait half an hour for someone to check out who was going on a tour later. Nearly an hour later I was shown to a single room.. another 10 minutes until I was shown the dorm. I can't stand people who lie, he knew exactly what time the guy was checking out as the tour had been booked through him!! It grinds my gears! I found a cafe for breakfast where I wrote up a couple of days worth of blogs. I then walked halfway across the city to the botanical gardens that I went to last time I was here. It took up a surprisingly long amount of time and it was 3 by the time I got back. After a shower and change and a check of fb it was 17.00 and time for free beer. The nect two and a half hours were spent chatting with other travellers. I got on really well with 2 English guys, Matt and Ben. The 3 of us went to a water puppet show. We were told that they were sold out but after I mentioned that it was my last night in the city thy said they could squeeze us in. Matt and I found the whole thing hilarious, many because one guy was horrifically out of time during the whole thing, I don't think many other people found it quite so funny. Afterwards we went to a street restaurant and had some fried chicken and a couple of beers. It was a good evening to end the trip on.
